Mini bio
Before the breakout.
Jean Carlos Santiago Pérez grew up in Caguas, Puerto Rico, with salsa and other Caribbean music around him. He studied chemical engineering and worked in a mobile phone shop before committing to music. His early “María Freestyle” addressed conditions in Puerto Rico after Hurricane María.
The song that opened doors.
“Rebota” introduced his playful reggaeton style to a much wider audience in 2019. Collaborations followed, including “Full Moon” with Yandel, “Se Te Nota” with Lele Pons and “Chica Ideal” with Sebastián Yatra.
Room for different rhythms.
His 2021 debut album La República brought together reggaeton, dembow and tropical music, including “Cumbia A La Gente” with Los Ángeles Azules. In 2025 he made cumbia the focus of Cumbia y Amor and continued exploring salsa through “Caramelito,” La Covertura and live recordings. “Se Parece al Pai” extended that salsa direction in 2026.
